Yes, I am sure you will get more advice.

Sadly this forum doesn't give you what you want to hear advise only, You've been given good advice already but you ignore it.

Another option is to put your own home up for rent and rent somewhere else yourselves until the neighbours move on.

To be honest you sound like a rather nasty person yourself so maybe you were all destined to be together

Petition for what? To give to who? The Prime Minister perhaps?

Would that be the same Prime Minister who's well known for his fine moral stance, straight talking and former membership of that bastion of good behaviour, The Bullingdon Club?

I wouldn't assume so, I wouldn't say that the sound of the car is normal. As well as the foul gaseous smell that follows whenever he parks up, it's sometimes so strong it gives me a headache.

Instead of issues stressing you out and complaining on here; do something about the issues that you can solve. Get the reg number and inform the police.

Then do as a previous said and move.

I like how you suggest that like it’s as easy as just picking up your stuff and moving.

......I confronted them and told them that I think they are lazy chavs and how dare they disrespect everyone on the street by not respecting noise pollution laws. I once again called the housing agency and gave them my opinion about how I believe they have chosen the worst tenants possible to move in next door, I own my house so it's not as easy to get up and leave, and why should I have to.

I bet the 'confrontation' was well received!

If laws are being broken, the police are the proper authority.

If noise is an issue, the council's Environemental; Health are the proper authority (or eg see here)

I suppose you could contact the property owner/landlord, but he's probably more concerned with reliable rent than with neighbour disputes over which he has no control.

At the time I wasn't bothered how they received it to be honest I was at my limit, since then however they haven't made any noise at all really. 

So...maybe they got the message and decided to be a bit more considerate?

I doubt it, they somehow have 5/6 people living at the house at the moment even though it’s only a 2 bedroom house and there’s only 3 who originally moved in

If they are young they may not stay there for long. When I was young I moved every 6 to 12 months when I was renting. 

i think their house being dirty is none of your concern, everyone can chose to live how they wish in their own homes but being noisy is not ideal. Confronting them and calling them chavs was hardly the best thing to do. If anyone did that to me in my younger days I would have found it fun to wind you up, probably by revving that engine when I come and go that little bit more.

With your long post pointing out everything this is obviously a huge impact to you. I had this but a lesser extent when both my neighbours in a terrace house were doing long diy projects such as sanding bannisters etc it drove me crazy and then I noticed every single noise that I wouldn’t have noticed previously. I in the end spoke to both neighbours, one was fine and one was not, but I managed to get to them to agree to stop works at 8pm. 

as you can’t speak to them I would say you can either try to contact the landlord but that would probably be a no go, contact the council but then you would have to declare when you sell the house, or sell! 

I would probably try to find out when their contract ends and whether they renew. Do you know when they moved in? If they are still there a year after that they more than likely are there for at least another 6 months.

I have had to sell because of problem neighbours in the past. It was the only way in the end. I now live peacefully and was the best move but it cost tens of thousands. However when you move you never know who will move in next door even in your new home. 

I would try and wait it out and if it’s affecting your mental well being then look to sell.

Looking back of course I could have been a little less aggressive but I was at boiling point after being kept up all night due to their noise. They have been there coming up to about a year now, I’m not sure how long they may have left; I’m don’t have a lot of knowledge on renting contracts etc. 

The last thing I’d want to do is move as everyone except them on the street are lovely, they are clean and they take pride in their homes, whereas the ones next door to me just treat it as a doss house, I know they can choose how they want to live but at least try to make it look somewhat presentable.

i am going to contact the housing agency tomorrow and ask them if they are aware that 5/6 people are living there even though there was only 3 who originally moved in.

thank you for your advice though, I just wish it wasn’t so stressful

If they are as bad as you say they are, then they are almost certainly not meeting rent expectations/ inspection expectations and will probably leave at end of fixed term.

I agree. The up-side is that they don't own it, they're young and their lives will therefore be pretty fluid, so there's every chance this is a temporary situation.

I wouldn't consider any long term moves until this, or similar, had gone on for at least a year. It isn't a great time to be thinking of a move right now.

In hindsight they aren’t the worst of the worst, they have been okay the last few nights but I’m always on edge at night now waiting for the music to start or the screaming and laughter in the back garden.

they have been there just under a year, my main problem is those cars, if it’s not his car then it’s his friends with equally obnoxious exhausts making an awful sound. 

I think I’m going to wait it out for a few months and assess how it is then, but I’ll be sure to continue logging down incidents that occur

Not a nasty person, i reacted angrily to them as I lost out on hours of sleep because of their noise, it’s fine for them they are furloughed and don’t have to wake up and go to work whereas I do, I hope you can understand my frustration at the time
